Hi Steve, Have you tried the DTD toward the end of the ARIA editors draft? http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/ ? Michael should be keeping this up to date. There is a plan to release either a schema and/or a DTD. Right now we are working furiously to set the ARIA documents in concrete and there are limited resources. Longer term the best way to check ARIA compliance will be based on rule-based design patterns in addition to DTDs and schemas which are targeted at static content. In general, tools manufacturers will need to rethink accessibility compliance. Checking the DTD or schema is only a first pass.
